About the Item
Alexandre Cabanel (1823–1889) was a prominent French academic painter known for his mastery of Neoclassical and Academic art. Born on September 28, 1823, in Montpellier, France, Cabanel displayed exceptional artistic talent from a young age. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he later became a professor. Cabanel garnered acclaim for his mastery of Neoclassical and Academic art, particularly seen in his mythological and historical paintings. Awards, including the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1845, solidified his status among the French elite and European royalty. As a key figure in the art world, Cabanel served as the president of the Société des Artistes Français, leaving an indelible mark on 19th-century French art.
Cabanel's painting style reflects a dedication to Academic principles, emphasizing classical beauty, idealized forms, and meticulous technique. Inspired by Neoclassicism, his works often depict mythological, historical, or biblical themes. Known for technical virtuosity, Cabanel's smooth brushstrokes demonstrate a high level of finish and attention to detail. Celebrated for portraying idealized beauty, his figures, whether divine or mortal, exude a timeless and harmonious aesthetic. Cabanel's grand compositions, such as "The Birth of Venus" and "The Death of Moses," breathe life into classical tales, showcasing his narrative prowess.
His success in the Academic establishment, evidenced by numerous awards, underscores Cabanel's influence in shaping 19th-century academic art. While criticized for adherence to Academic conventions during an era of artistic innovation, Cabanel's legacy endures as a representative of French Academic tradition.

- A Pompeian LadyBy John William GodwardLocated in New Orleans, LAJohn William Godward 1861-1922 British A Pompeian Lady Signed and dated "J.W. Godward 1904" (lower right, partially covered by frame) Oil on canvas One of the last and greatest Victorian neoclassical painters, John William Godward is celebrated for his flawlessly executed images of graceful women posed in idealized ancient settings. In this work, entitled A Pompeian Lady, a classical beauty is caught idling in a moment of quiet, solitary reflection. Godward's elegant subjects are depicted with a degree of technical mastery that remains unsurpassed, and the work's dramatic palette, luxurious fabrics and classical vision are all characteristics of his unique take on the neoclassical style. Godward was unmatched in terms of his technical skill and attention to detail. A master of contrasting textures, he paints a diaphanous gown draping against the model’s smooth, milky white skin, which sits against the painstakingly rendered individual hairs of a tiger’s pel. Scintillating color permeates the canvas as well, energizing the otherwise static scene. Each element is given careful attention, and the overall effect is one of both immaculate technique and sensual tactility. Along with his contemporary and mentor, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Godward set the tone for the Victorian neoclassicist movement. He built his career upon creating images of idealized feminine beauty infused with a Greco-Roman-inspired style. Though greatly influenced by Alma-Tadema, Godward distinguished himself through his predilection for the solitary female figure. His fame rose dramatically in the first few years of the 20th century, when the present work was completed, due to the burgeoning strength of the British Empire and the Victorian society’s preoccupation with ancient Rome. To many of the newly affluent, Roman society was, as Iain Gale writes, “a flawless mirror of their own immaculate world.” The sensuality and mystery of Godward’s maidens, combined with his impressive antique backdrops...Category
